Remove webob from render_to_response

We were still using webob's Response objects for template rendering.
Transition to werkzeug's Response object. One caveat was that it
seemed to have used the default mimetype "text/plain" for all pages,
so we override the default Response class, setting the default mime
type to "text/html".
